Chapter 132 The Turning-Ahead Swarm of Poisonous Scorpions
Su Yu frowned. Although she knew that none of her teammates had shown themselves to the scorpion swarm, she was still a little worried that the scorpion swarm was going back to find the four wounded members of their exploration team, so she flew back on her sword to find them.
Back near the large sand pit, Asa, who was underground, noticed him and waved at him, saying, "Ajiu! Over here!"
Su Yu landed slowly, nodded to the two people, and then looked at the two injured people who were slumped on the ground: "How are they?"
Asa scratched his head: "I've been poisoned by the Poison Shadow Scorpion Tail Sting, but I've already eaten scorpion grass. I should be able to move again in a little while."
"Oh right, you don't know each other yet, let me introduce you," Asa said, having rescued two teammates and now much more relaxed, enthusiastically taking on the role of the introducer. "These two are Li Tian and Zeng Dong, members of our team. This is Feng Jiu, a very talented new member. He hasn't decided which team he'll join yet, but I think our team can try to get him."
After he finished speaking, he said with a sly smile, "Ah Jiu, what do you think?"
Su Yu paused for a moment, thinking that Asa's personality was truly cheerful and that he could learn a lot from him.
He smiled and said, "Oh, I'd like to contact the other two teams as well, but one team can add a point to my score now."
Then he turned to look at Buwei and said with a mocking smile, "Buwei Team Three, aren't you going to do something?"
“Alright, it’s time to show our appreciation,” Bu Wei smiled helplessly, then became serious. “Team Three warmly welcomes Feng Jiu to join us at any time.”
"Haha, good, team three gets a point too."
After this rambling, it's time to get down to business.
Li Tian and Zeng Dong hadn't fully recovered yet. The three of them could handle two people without much trouble, but they still needed to go deeper to find other team members, so taking the two of them along would be a bit of a burden.
It is still unknown how injured the other five team members are. If they are also unable to fly on their swords, then the three of them cannot carry so many people with just three swords.
Su Yu's small flying boat could only accommodate four or five people, while medium and large flying boats could serve as the protective artifacts of a powerful force in the Central Spirit Realm, and were unlikely to be privately owned.
Therefore, he couldn't just casually pull out a medium-sized airship and say, "No problem, I have a large private airship that can seat eight or ten people."
Su Yu slowly shifted her gaze to the remaining guardian scorpions in the sandpit and suggested, "The Poison Shadow Scorpion could be used as a mount."
Buwei paused for a moment, then took out several special reins from his storage ring and gave a steady, affirmative answer: "Yes, I've ridden them before."
However, he got separated from the other members of the three teams that time, and in order to catch up, he used a rare lone scorpion in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm as a mount.
Buwei solemnly imparted his experience: "The Shadow Scorpions are not very intelligent and are quite stubborn, making them difficult to control. If you whip them like ordinary mounts, it will have a counterproductive effect."
It's the kind of stubborn thing that will either go west or refuse to go at all, if you want it to go east.
Asa raised his hand and asked, "Then how do we control it?"
The two injured men also looked up curiously.
Bu took a deep breath and then said carefully, "We have to use brute force to drag the Shadow Scorpion away. We just need to outmaneuver it."
In short, it's a battle between two stubborn individuals: the rider and the mount.
Then he added, "But actually, as long as your cultivation level is higher than that of the Poison Shadow Scorpion, it's easier to control."
He originally wanted to ride another early-stage Nascent Soul Poison Shadow Scorpion, but he couldn't win the argument, so he had to switch to a Nascent Soul Scorpion.
Su Yu nodded and said, "I have the highest cultivation level and I'm not injured. I'll go ahead first..."
The others were also puzzled when they saw Su Yu suddenly fall silent, as if she had something left to say.
Asa asked with concern, "What's wrong, Ah Jiu?"
"The swarm of Shadow Scorpions is back." Su Yu looked at the rising dust on the other side of the sandpit with some confusion.
These scorpions didn't even chase him this fast back then.
After a quick discussion, Su Yu took the reins from Bu Wei's hand, deciding that he would be the main force in subduing the Poison Shadow Scorpion mount.
After all, he was the only one present who was strong, healthy, and unharmed, and whose cultivation level was the highest.
Asa and Buwei helped up the two pale-faced wounded men, each taking one of them with them.
Because the location showed that the remaining five members of the group had fallen into the most dangerous part of the Stormy Sand Sea, after a brief discussion, they decided to first capture a Nascent Soul stage Poison Shadow Scorpion and have Asa control it, so as to send Li Tian and Zeng Dong back to their base.
As spirit beasts, the Poison Shadow Scorpions are quite large, and carrying three people is no problem.
Asa has the cultivation level of the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage, and the injuries he suffered before have almost healed, so controlling a Nascent Soul stage Poison Shadow Scorpion is not difficult for him.
Su Yu and Bu Wei then captured two more Poison Shadow Scorpions and ventured deeper into the heart of the territory.
However, the scorpion swarm has now circled around to the side of the large pit and stopped to linger for some reason. Several of the venomous shadow scorpions stepped forward and carefully sniffed the area, while the other scorpions suppressed their restlessness and waited for the result.
Although I don't know what's wrong with these scorpions, isn't this the perfect opportunity to catch a mount?
Su Yu immediately made a decision, using the reins as a lasso to pull out a small scorpion in the early Nascent Soul stage from the end of the scorpion swarm.
Asa subdued the little scorpion relatively easily. Su Yu and Bu Wei blocked the other venomous shadow scorpions that wanted to rescue their companion, so without any interference, he quickly subdued the little scorpion.
The little scorpion stopped struggling, and the other scorpions, who had only a tiny bit of kinship, scattered and ignored it.
Asa breathed a sigh of relief and brought the two injured men, Li Tian and Zeng Dong, up.
Su Yu and Bu Wei glanced at the scorpion swarm, which seemed even more agitated and enraged but did not attack them immediately, and each found a target to subdue.
As soon as Su Yu landed on the back of a Poison Shadow Scorpion at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, she saw the scorpions that had been sniffing carefully begin to hiss loudly after seemingly exchanging information, and then they took the lead and ran off in a certain direction.
The scorpion swarm instantly erupted, a dark mass following closely behind, their speed no slower than before.
“Ah Jiu, they seem to be looking for something.”
Before Bu Wei could finish speaking, his venomous shadow scorpion began to gallop rapidly with the current.
They poured a mouthful of air into his mouth.
Bu's expression was blank, and the others weren't much better off.
Su Yu instinctively gripped the reins of the venomous scorpion at her feet and shouted, "What—did you—say—?"
Before Bu Wei could reply, Su Yu's system team-up channel reacted first; he suddenly received a location from his colleague You Fujun.
They said their mentor tricked them into eating poisonous scorpion eggs. Su Yu, your time to be a hero and save the day has come again.
Su Yu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He had originally thought that he would be busy rescuing the team members and might not have time to meet with Ayao and the others.
A sudden burst of plot awareness: You're welcome.
There was no sound in his ears, but he knew that the plot consciousness had just spoken to him unilaterally.
Su Yu fell completely silent.
I don't know whether to say thank you or not, but this plot seems a bit rambling.
...I remember now, because the main plot recently is Su Yao looking for her brother, and he wrote and acted out the whole storyline himself, so he was naturally very free of any plot-related issues.
